"Kim Kardashian" 2011, via Shinji Murakami
In south Williamsburg you can enjoy Japanese comfort food at the same place you check out the latest from emerging artists. Now at Supercore, see Shinji Murakami’s physical manifestation of his love for 8-bit video games. His 3D sculptures of McDonald’s-inspired meals are visible from the sidewalk, placed on cafeteria trays along the front window. A map of a Super Mario-esque Central Park and other colorful, nostalgic resin panels line the bar. Kim Kardashian zoomed into 169 pink pixels looks especially striking and Internet-y with a backdrop of tiled cats that wallpaper the café. His work is fun and worth a look.
Hamburgers is now on view at Supercore in Williamsburg until August 31st.
